In spiritual teacher Osho's Aspects of Meditation Book 1: The Body,
the First Step, you'll discover a deeper understanding of
meditation through an investigation into the subtle workings of the
mind, focusing on the body. The West has taken to meditation with
great enthusiasm. We contemplate. We concentrate. We embrace
mindfulness techniques and a multitude of mantras. We have
undertaken to "do" meditation. The Aspects of Meditation series is
comprised of brief, precious texts in which Osho shows us the core
of meditation is not about sitting silently or chanting a mantra.
It is, instead, a question of understanding the subtle workings of
the mind. In Book 1, Osho re-introduces us to our body, focusing on
the "root" of the human, the soul.
Everybody is aware, all seven billion of us. We are aware of
thoughts, feelings, sensations, and perceptions. All people share
the experience of being aware, but relatively few people are aware
that they are aware. Most people's lives consist of a flow of
thoughts, images, ideas, feelings, sensations, sights, sounds, and
so on. Very few people ask, "What is it that knows this flow of
thoughts, feelings, and perceptions? With what am I aware of my
experience?" The knowing of our being-or rather, awareness's
knowing of its own being in us-is our primary experience, our most
fundamental and intimate experience. It is in this experience that
all the peace, happiness, and love we have ever longed for reside.
The happiness we have sought for so long outside of ourselves, in
situations, objects, and relationships, turns out to be always
present, always available, in the simple knowing of our own being
as it is. The knowing of our own being shines in each one of us as
the experience "I am" or "I am aware," or simply as the thought
"I." Because this simplest, most obvious, most familiar, and
intimate experience is to the mind not a thing, or nothing, it is
overlooked or forgotten by the vast majority of humanity. The
overlooking of our own being is the root cause of all unhappiness
and, therefore, the root cause of our search for happiness. What is
the nature of this experience of being aware? The contemplations in
this collection will lead readers toward their own experiential
understanding of that which we all call "I." Being Aware of Being
Aware is the first and introductory volume in the Essence of
Meditation series of collected meditations on the fundamentals of
non-duality. Each volume will include six essays, compiled from
contemplations led by Rupert Spira at retreats. Future titles
include The Nature of Mind, I Am, and The Nature of Happiness.

motor control, and body awareness. The book features case studies,
exercises to illustrate the concepts, and opportunities for
critical thinking, allowing movement professionals not only to
understand the science behind why techniques and modalities work,
but also to explore ways of implementing these approaches with
their patients. The work is written for the curious movement
professional who wants to enhance their ability to work with
students of all ages and abilities. To learn more about Jenn's

The New York Times bestselling book that both galvanizes
progressives for action and is a balm--from the Pulitzer
Prize-winning author "A light in darkness, Alice Walker awakens us
to our own power as only she can. . . . Once again, Walker has
exceeded our expectations." --The Atlanta Journal-Constitution When
the United States recently exploded with unprecedented
demonstrations challenging racial violence and hatred, Alice
Walker's New York Times bestselling We Are the Ones We Have Been
Waiting For was one of the books to which people turned for
inspiration and solace. Called "stunningly insightful" and "a book
that will inspire hope" by Publishers Weekly, this work by the
author of The Color Purple is a clarion call to activism--spiritual
ruminations with a progressive political edge, that offer a moment
of care and solace. Walker encourages readers to take faith in the
fact that, despite our daunting predicaments, we are uniquely
prepared to create positive change. Drawing on Walker's spiritual
grounding and her progressive political convictions, the book
offers a cornucopia of the Pulitzer Prize winner's writings and
speeches on advocacy, struggle, and hope. Each chapter concludes
with a recommended meditation to teach patience, compassion, and
forgiveness. Walker's clear vision and calm meditative voice--truly
"a light in darkness"--has struck a deep chord among a large and
devoted readership.
Journey into the world of Ayahuasca and healing. A mysterious and
powerful plant medicine with curative powers that is drunk as a tea
during a sacred ceremony, Ayahuasca has been known to change
people's lives dramatically. But what was once a healing experience
practiced only by Indigenous South Americans - and sought out by
the adventurous few - has, in the past fifty years, become
increasingly popular around the world. Hachumak, a Peruvian
medicine man, has been practicing traditional healing arts in his
country for more than twenty years. His unique approach is based on
ritualistic simplicity and highlights the essence of the Art, which
includes the borrowed forces from Nature. In this remarkable book,
he shares his knowledge and experiences to broaden our
understanding of this powerful medicine and protect it from misuse
and exploitation. Whether you are among the uninitiated and
curious, or a seasoned journeyer, you will gain a deeper
understanding of what shamanism is and how and why it works, as
well as its possibilities and limitations. Hachumak reveals his own
path to becoming a shaman and explains how a well-crafted Ayahuasca
ceremony unfolds when run by an experienced curandero. He describes
in detail what to expect - both physically and psychologically -
while under the guidance of the sacred plants. With Hachumak as our
experienced and trusted guide, Journeying Through the Invisible
offers a new and healing way of seeing ourselves and the world
around us.
